If you like MacWrite (for Macintosh), there's a program to emulate such
called MULTISCRIBE.  It features pull-down menu and can be used with or
without a mouse.  It has a font editor on the flip side of the disk, and it is
able to convert files you have now (Applewriter).  It uses the double hi-res
screen and therefore requires 128K enhanced //e.  It sells for only $59.95.
The next one up in price in this class is Roger Wagner's, and it sells for
around $150.00.  MULTISCRIBE was written by a couple of friends of mine
at Rice University in Houston (take my word for it, these guys are both
superb students) , and I was among the guinea pigs testing it out.  It's a
quality program.
